CD Reviews

A great peformance!

Mr. Mark Antoine Hamet | Paris France | 10/11/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I use Beethoven's 5th in seminars for managers here in Paris, France (a listening exercice).

I can say this version is on a par with Furtwangler(1943,DG), Fricsay(1962,DG) and Karajan(1962, DG).

As for the channel problem mentionned in the other review, it is really of no consequence.

You have the choice of four languages!"

Unacceptable product.. Do NOT buy for the lectures.

"Please be warned that if your are purchasing this product for Bernstein's outstanding talk on the first movement, do not do so. All four tracks are defective. To put it simply, it is as though you are listening to two people talking over each other in two different languages. This is a shame. I listened to this talk a long time ago, and it is wonderful. What a shame that you cannot do so on this CD.

To reiterate, the issue is the lecture, not the music. It is incredible that as of May 30, 2007, this product is still on the market."
